My hatred of invertebrate skeleton decor is infinite and intense

A plastic skeleton of a cockroach. But it has ribs, folks. It's a vertebrate cockroach 🤬

This The Teacher's Pets bulletin board of teachers and their pets turned out super cute and had the side effect of helping students identify staff....who knew the custodian had a tarantula?

A green and yellow bulletin board that has red letters that say the teacher's pets of GBS on it, there are many pictures of teachers and their pets doing selfies together with labels about each pet

This is the same picture, but from further away

A collection of creepy dolls at the Woodman museum in Dover, NH

Her face is stitched and embroidered, and her little bonnet is red.

This one has a lace cap, big unblinking blue eyes and face like putty

The blond hair is part of the porcelain, but it's the big dark brown or black roses that stare into your soul

Blondish hair, pinkish clothes, a red mouth and four sharp looking teeth

I saw a funnel cloud/baby tornado and a rainbow within 2 minutes of each other today. In a separate incident I saw pea-sized hail! Most of the day was calm and in the mid-60s though #NHWeatherisweird

I did not appreciate the sheer joy my turtles would get from basking in their own personal basking lamps. Bradley is so happy. The person we got him from did not know he needed a place to get out of the water or a basking lamp. He's been swimming for 5 years with no rest. 🫩. No longer! #petturtle

Rhododendron State Park is very cool! 16+ acres of wild rhododendron that bloom in mid-July in southern NH. Actually made it this year!

This bloom is not open and looks sort of like a pink pine cone

Summer craft project in full swing. I'm finally trying to use up some of my scrap fabrics by making my twin baby cousins each a crazy quilt/I spy quilt. Here's what I've got so far, complete with two helper boys

@storysquadcast.bsky.social Windy and I thought you might enjoy seeing them in their side hustle as the mascot for an RPG based special ed summer school program in NH. They keep an eye on the kids and give lots of hugs and some encouragement magic when learning is hard!

This is Ignatia t. Bellows, A red-eared slider that we rescued. She has no front claws because they were eaten by a raccoon about 15 years ago. She has lived in a small fish tank for a long time and now she gets to touch grass.

Ignatia still looks basic balefully at the camera but now you can see her shell too

This must be a leopard. It has a very human face

Last week was our yearly play. 73 5-8th graders who acted, costumes, did props, crew, tech, etc. It was a huge success!! Middle schoolers can really pull stuff off if you give them the practice and structure!!

Eight oldey timey street urchins look at a newspaper. They have oversized clothes, and mostly wear browns and whites.
